English Abstract


ABSTRACT
An apparatus and its associated system for the chromatic
excitation of quartz elements for therapeutic purposes,
characterized by the supply to quartz cristals operating as
applicators, of luminous radiation of a variable intensity and
chromatism from a light generator controlled by means of a
programmed computer, with an intermediate interface and having
provided specific filters to one light beam emitted by the
generator. The apparatus includes a computer which is programmed
for the control of a chromatic generator bearing the filters for
the luminous radiations and eventually connected to the
applicators by means of fiber optics, the applicators including
cristals of quartz with polished facets with pointed or rounded
end tips.

C L A I M S
1. An apparatus and its associated system for
the chromatic excitation of quartz elements for
therapeutic purposes, characterized by the supply
to quartz cristals operating as applicators, of
luminous radiation of a variable intensity and
chromatism from a light generator controlled
by means of a programmed computer, with an inter-
mediate interface and having provided specific
filters to the light beam emitted by the generator.
2. An apparatus and its associated system for
the chromatic excitation of quartz elements for
therapeutic purposes, characterized in the? the
apparatus includes a computer with its monitor,
programmed to control the chromatic generator, the
servomechanisms and the optical filters, operating
through an interface, the chromatic is generator,
with its filters, which said generator projects the
required luminous beam on to the applicator quartz
cristals providing hte therapeutic treatment.
3. An apparatus and its associated system for
the chromatic excitation of quartz elements for
therapeutic purposes, as in claim 2, characterized
in that the chromatic generator comprises a light
generator, a series of infrared and ultraviolet
filters as well as colour discs and obturators in
unter-connection with servo-mechanisms.
4. An apparatus and its associated system for
the chromatic excitation of quartz elements for
therapeutic purposes as in claim 3, characterized

in that the communication between the chromatic
generator and the natural quartz crystals provided
for a physical separation of these two compnents,
and is by means of fibre optics.
5. An apparatus and its associated system for
the chromatic excitation of quartz elements for
therapeutic purposes, as in claim 2, characterized in
that the natural quartz applicators are of a trans-
parent or white translucid quartz with the facets
polished, pyramidal or rounded.
